> (mifid ii requires clocks to be synchronized to 100us)

That only applies if the clocks are within 1ms of each other, so around 100 miles (or equivalently: within a single cloud region), and only came in to force in 2014.

The bound that Spanner-likes keep is ~3ms for datacenters across continents, and that was in 2012.
